What kind of news can I submit?
We think of our news wire as a great way to keep our members informed about everything interesting going on in the world. For examples of the kinds of news we publish, read the news section for a few days.
How should I format my news submission?
Stories should be between one and four paragraphs in length. It is very important that you write a clear simple subject, and include relevant links in your story. Please look to the newswire front page to see how we format the stories we publish.
I don't have any pics and don't know how to make them is that ok?
Sure just submit the article and we'll make graphics for you if we choose to publish it.
How do I use bold, italics, or link to things in my article?
[B]This is in Bold[/B]
[I]This is in Italics[/I]
[URL=http://www.website.com]This is a link[/URL]
You just surround the word or words you want to link or make bold or italics with the commands listed above! When you preview your article make sure everything works properly.
Can I submit an article someone else wrote?
No, please only submit work you wrote.
Who owns the article after I submit it?
We do and you are granting us permission to edit, change, alter, reprint or do whatever we like with it in perpetuity throughout the known universe.
The Whole Universe? For all time?
Yes, even the sombrero galaxy or 5th century B.C. Athens.
The news is totally biased! Why don't you publish the truth???
The news is submitted by random fuckbags like you and me. For the most part we're not career journalists, just interested onlookers. Editors do strive for a certain degree of quality in news postings, but if you feel your point of view or area of interest is being overlooked, the best thing to do is submit some news yourself!
We are not a reputable, objective news source. Walter Cronkite, Edward R. Murrow and other fat senior citizens who think of news as objective would/do hate the SG Newswire. We are part gossip rag, part talk radio, part daily show, part djs (spinning you the newspaper stories instead of songs). Other sites report; we mangle, spin, pontificate upon, slant and direct you to the stuff on the web we think worthy of your notice, whether for humor's sake, or because it's important.
We report, you decide!
